Loyal Pooch Refuses To Leave Dead Friends Side

This is the heartbreaking moment a loyal street dog refuses to leave its dead best friend's side.

In the video, the dog is sat solemnly by the body of its dead canine companion and does not move.

The person filming the sad scenes moves around the dogs, but the larger pooch does not stray from its friend's side.

The moving scenes were filmed in Ciudad Celina in the Argentinian state of Buenos Aires.

A local woman named Gabriela who feeds the dog every night told reporters: "I came up to see him and it turned out that he did not want to be separated from his friend, and he tried to revive him by moving his (the dead dog's) paw."

Gabriela lives one block away from the wasteland where she feeds the dogs.

She added: "It is nothing more than that, I have never seen anything like it. You can tell they were abandoned and they are going to look after each other until the end of their days."

It is unclear how the deceased dog died.

Ciudad Celina is in the La Matanza district of Greater Buenos Aires.

La Matanza had 1,772,130 residents in 2010 and is the most populated district in the province of Buenos Aires and the biggest municipality in the country.
